Looking for wet slab potential in the Provo mountains - free water and snow structure key for this. Found suitable isothermal structure and noted areas prone for pooling with kool-aid adjacent to 2/18 dust layer at 8000' ENE and in suspect facets a few inches below dust layer at 8500' ENE. Pooling also noted in basal weaknesses. See videos below.

Very weak facets sandwiched between the Feb 18th dust layer/crust and above the old mid-pack crust from Jan 8/9 as noted in profile.

Will need to keep an eye on cloud cover, overnight temps and other indicators that lend a hand for free water in the snowpack.
